770 is a better buy. Very few people will see need an 800 machinePosted via Mobile Device

I just looked over and compared the specs closely and you are correct. performance wise its a very small difference, the big difference is the weight of the machines. T770 comes in at 10,327lbs and the T870 at 12,688lbs.
Hp is close, T770 at 92hp and the T870 at 99hp.

Better move before the end of the year. My friend at the dealership said that Bobcat has just sent out the price increase memo for 2014 and he used one word to describe them, "Outrageous"! He said the 500 series is taking te biggest hit because of the new engine and Tier IV, but the 590s are going up well over $5k.Posted via Mobile Device

I priced a 770 with forestry package high flow A 91 package it was in the low 90s. I have had a 299 D as a demo for the last month and a few and it is a nice machine. I feel that it is a more comfortable machine to run.
